Skills are resolved against the Skillenai canonical taxonomy, so the same entity is counted whether a posting writes 'Python', 'Python 3', or 'python'. Role prevalence divides postings mentioning microservice architecture by all postings for each role in the same window, ranking roles with at least 20 postings. Role distribution divides each role’s microservice architecture postings by all microservice architecture postings, including postings without a role. Shares need not sum to 100% for the displayed roles. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-requested skills).
